Actress Jameela Jamil and comedian Celeste Barber just redefined BFF goals with the new cover of InStyle magazine for which they recreated the classic John and Yoko cover for the 1981 Rolling Stones. The iconic photograph featuring The Beatles' John Lennon and his activist partner Yoko Ono was taken by famed photographer Annie Leibowitz in 1980 just a few hours before the sensational assassination of Lennon. Almost half a century later, the image has been recreated by Jamil and Barber, who like the former muses, believe in shock value and share the duo's penchant for going against the grain.

MUMBAI: John Deere, the American farm equipment maker's strategy to use its Indian subsidiary to make tractors for its home base is beginning to get results, enabling the company to get a measure of its Indian rivals who have made inroads into the US market.

JOHN Lewis has been accused of ripping off a children’s book character after dropping its Excitable Edgar Christmas advert this morning. Several angry viewers have taken to Twitter to point out an apparent likeliness between Edgar and famous author Julia Donaldson’s dragon character called Zog.
